Transforming Quranic Excellence: Evaluating the Governance of Tahfizh Al-Qur'an Programs in Higher Education Based on the CIPP Model

This study investigates the management and effectiveness of Tahfizh Al-Qur'an programs in higher education, focusing on the Institute of Qur'anic Sciences (IIQ) in Jakarta, through the application of the CIPP model. It explores the alignment between program objectives and institutional missions (context), the sufficiency and strategic utilization of resources (input), the methods and effectiveness of program implementation (process), and the outcomes achieved in terms of student development and program impact (product). Adopting a qualitative approach, the study employs surveys, interviews, and document analysis to provide an in-depth understanding of the governance frameworks at these institutions. The findings highlight notable achievements in advancing Quranic and moral education while identifying challenges in resource allocation, process efficiency, and stakeholder engagement. This paper offers valuable insights into ways to enhance and expand educational programs by improving governance structures and addressing contemporary challenges without compromising the integrity of Quranic traditions. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating modern practices with traditional values in Tahfizh programs within higher education.
